I would like to see UofL go after a fairly young coordinator who has solid DC experience. For instance the DC at Southern Miss has been a coordinator at the D1 and D2 levels. He started at FSU and has strong ties in Alabama and Miss.
Also the coordinator at Troy has built a strong defensive scheme and has good southern recruiting ties.
My biggest concern with Sirmon was that he only had 1 year of DC experience at any level. He simply wasn’t ready, plus his main recruiting ties were in the West. It just wasn’t a good decision by Petrino.
Hire someone who has risen through the ranks but has a resume to lean on.
